Check that shes getting to the food, one of mind is very submissive and I have to seperate her to ensure she gets a decent meal.

 

If she is definitly eating loads then I would get her to the vet as theres something up.

 

Ferrets cant get worms :thumbs-up:

one of my jills lost loads of weight just after summer for some reason?, I monitered them when they were feeding and she wasn't pushed out of the way by the others and seemed happy just to eat what she wanted, so i just kept my eye on her and gave her a few more treats than the others, she seems to be putting a little bit more weight on now.

Probs what Hob + Jill said, one of two ferrets in a cage over a week or two can hog the food, even full carcasses. Resulting in one getting skinny quick!

Try letting the skinny one have a feast before you let the other feed.

This is where matching individual animals comes in at this time of year! ;)
